Proteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.
R&D PDGF BB, CF - Recombinant PDGF-BB Human Protein Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) was discovered as a major mitogenic factor present in serum but absent from plasma. It was found to be secreted from the α-granules of platelets activated during the coagulation of blood to form serum. Specifications and Use of R&D PDGFSource of of R&D PDGF • A DNA sequence encoding the 109 amino acid residue mature human PDGF-B chain p…
R&D Systems - Recombinant Human Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2)is a member of the BMP subgroup of the TGF-β superfamily. It plays a dominant role in embryonic dorsal-ventral patterning, organogenesis, limb bud formation, and bone formation and regeneration.Specifications and Use of R&D BMP-2R&D BMP-2 Source • The DNA sequence encoding human BMP-2 (Wozney, J. et al., 1988, Science 242…
R&D Systems - Recombinant Human HGF (NS0-expressed)HGF, also known as Hepatopoietin A, was initially identified as a potent mitogen for hepatocytes in primary culture. Subsequently, HGF was also shown to be mitogenic for a variety of cell types including endothelial and epithelial cells, melanocytes, and keratinocytes.

R&D Systems Recombinant Human IL-1 beta/IL-1F2 IL-1 is a name that designates two pleiotropic cytokines, IL-1α (IL-1F1) and IL-1β (IL-1F2), which are the products of distinct genes. IL-1α and IL-1β are structurally related polypeptides that share approximately 21% amino acid (aa) identity in human. Both proteins are produced by a wide variety of cells in response to inflammatory agents, infections, or microbial endotoxins. S…
R&D Systems Recombinant Human IL-2 Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a O-glycosylated, four α-helix bundle cytokine that has potent stimulatory activity for antigen-activated T cells. It is expressed by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, γδ T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, and eosinophils. Specifications and Use of R&D IL-2 Source • A DNA sequence encoding the mature human IL-2 protein sequence (Taniguchi et al., 1983, Nature 302: 305 - 310; Ma…
R&D Systems Recombinant Human FGF basic (157 aa)FGF basic is a member of the FGF family of at least 23 related mitogenic proteins which show 35 - 60% amino acid conservation. FGF acidic and basic, unlike the other members of the family, lack signal peptides and are apparently secreted by mechanisms other than the classical protein secretion pathway. This factor contains four cysteine residues, but reduced FGF basic retains fu…
TGF- β1 (transforming growth factor beta 1) is one of three closely related mammalian members of the large TGF-β superfamily that share a characteristic cystine knot structure.1 - 7 TGF-β1, -2 and -3 are highly pleiotropic cytokines that are proposed to act as cellular switches that regulate processes such as immune function, proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Specifications and Use for R&D TGF-beta1Source •…
R&D Systems Recombinant Human HGFHGF, also known as scatter factor and hepatopoietin A, is a pleiotropic protein in the plasminogen subfamily of S1 peptidases. It is a multidomain molecule that includes an N-terminal PAN/APPLE-like domain, four Kringle domains, and a serine proteinase-like domain that has no detectable protease activity. Specifications and Use of R&D HGF Source of R&D HGF• A DNA sequence encoding the 728 am…
